Question: How Tough Should Dems Get?

Regarding Ezra's post yesterday on the increasingly appalling poll numbers Bush is getting these days, and the quite evident widespread dissatisfaction with his performance, I’ve noticed that the words resignation, impeachment, and recall are starting to pop up more and more frequently. Brad DeLong has started ending many of his posts with “Impeach George W. Bush. Impeach him now.” Last night, Bill Maher suggested a “California-style” recall election. ChrisJ at MyDD posted an open letter to the president, asking for not only his resignation for “gross incompetence, negligence, lack of compassion and demonstrable policy failure,” but also those of Cheney, Rice, Chertoff, and Brown. And there are plenty of rumblings elsewhere—some half-humorous, and some deadly serious.
